WHEREAS,

Bill No. 080253-A (approved May 14, 2008), which provided for the re-zoning of certain areas of land located within an area bounded by Front Street, Lombard Street, 2nd Street, and Pine Street, lapsed on April 16, 2009 because of the “sunset” provision in the Bill, although previous to that date, the City Planning Commission had approved a Plan of Development for such area as required by the Bill; and

WHEREAS,

Council wishes to re-enact the provisions of Bill No. 080253-A with a new “sunset” provision, and subject to the previously approved Plan of Development or any subsequently approved amended Plan of Development; now, therefore,

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA HEREBY ORDAINS:
